A one-day Spring Clean Up will be offered to Platte City residents on Saturday, May 6, it was announced at the Tuesday night board of aldermen meeting. The board intends to strictly enforce a one pick-up day only policy due to last year’s experience when residents continued to place special cleanup items out for nearly a month following the designated pick-up day. This created a substantial amount of extra work for sanitation personnel, according to Ann Daniels, city administrator.
